Letícia's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a large ovarian cyst, Letícia was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Letícia was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Santos Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,900, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,950 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Santos Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,900 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Letícia struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Letícia won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $890
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $470
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95
• Post-operative medication: $90
• Physiotherapy sessions: $250
• Travel and lodging for the family: $155
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Letícia.
Surgeon and anesthesia fees is $890 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
keep going, Tiago. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 35 people at work.
Wishing you the best, Tiago. Get well soon. Greetings from Zaria
